Actually, don't use stringByExpandingTildeInPath:.  Paths are deprecated, you 
should use NSURL or CFURL to reference file system objects.  Instead, do 
something like this:

        NSFileManager* fileManager = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];
        NSError* error = nil;
        NSURL* url = [fileManager URLForDirectory:NSApplicationSupportDirectory
                                                                                
                         inDomain:NSUserDomainMask
                                                                                
        appropriateForURL:nil
                                                                                
                           create:YES
                                                                                
                                error:&error];

Not sure about at the CF level... you could use FSFindFolder() I guess.
